    And back again.

    As I have a Parvum which unfortunately do not come with a front headphone socket to use my phones I either need to plug them into the back when I need them, removing when I don't.

    Leaving them plugged in then switching between the two via Windows.

    Plugging them in to my usb sound card where I lose keyboard control and have to reach across to the sound card and play with the wheel.

    Any simple solutions?

    Surely leaving them plugged in then switching between the two via Windows is the easiest? I do that all the time.

    I suspect you may well be right Tom but I was hoping there was a shortcut.

    Thanks for that link Wolf, I'm going to give it a try too! Constantly switching between my xonar and speakers and my e07k and headphones!

    Edit: This is fantastic! You can make a hotkey to switch between devices. Got some spare buttons on my mouse that I bound to switch between them. I am very pleased :D

    Great tip. Took me a while to figure out that I needed the software running for the Hotkeys to work, but I am not the brightest star in the sky.

    Rep to wolfticket.

    I've used audio switcher but it's flakey in my experience.
